There’s been another jump in the price for gasoline this morning.

The provincial regulator moving the price for self serve regular gasoline up by nearly three cents to $188.1 per litre.

On the other hand, diesel saw a drop this week albeit a small one as the price for that fuel is slipping by a cent to $195.8.

Twelve months ago, we were paying $1.71 for gasoline and $1.79 for diesel.
